TIPS Use 12L transducer Use SCROTAL preset under “Sm Parts” on GE machine Scan non-painful testicle first. Protocol Trans Midline : Grayscale to compare echogenicity, big picture Trans Upper/Mid/Lower Take measurement on Mid image Long Lat/Mid/Medial Grayscale Take measurement on Mid image Long Lat/Mid/Medial Color Adjust color scale on normal side, then keep same scale to examine abnormal side Take pictures of each side separately showing color and flow Take color of both testicles in one picture using the C5 if necessary Image and measure epididymis (superior to testicle) +/- color If you don’t see flow in boys <2 yrs -, decrease RPF; if high clinical suspicion, but negative study, can get nuclear med flow study For your entertainment: Instructional video |
